I'm guessing either Zags or Rothstein

Of course that doesn't mean much...I think Alford at one point signed an extension and went somewhere else the next day I think.

Yup he had just signed a 10 yr contract at New Mexico and was out the next week.

OMG no way on Seton Hall. Why exactly? First, Willard would have to leave...so unless Willard is leaving, then Seton Hall won't need a coach. But the logical draw is DH went there as we all know. So of course that would be the #1 threat in theory without any knowledge of if he'd ever want to go bac...

we are all getting worked up over this decision like once it is made, there will be peace and calm throughout Kingston until next year at this time. who doesn't think we will go through this all again if Willard leaves SH for Pitt or Mack leaves X for Louisville? Do you think Dan won't explore thos...

IF true, that will do it. Not so sure they can afford that though.

Dre - right, but you get how that is not good, don't you? If they run a guy out who won a national championship and is an alum and try to screw him over and weasel out of paying him with fabricated "for cause" nonsense, what does that say about their loyalty and "family" bona fi...

The UConn violations are pretty overblown! A couple kids participated in illegal offcampus workouts. I'm pretty sure that's considered a minor infraction by the NCAA especially since they self reported. I'd be surprised to see any major penalties from the NCAA, seems they'd have bigger fish to fry....

Dre3000

The conference thing seems odd here for 2 reasons - first, he himself has cited Gonzaga as a benchmark. Um, A10 is WAYYYYY better than WCC. And second, seemingly his next best choice is Uconn in the AAC, which by all metrics is marginally better than A10 if that. If you look at the AAC in it's pres...

I agree, but realistically Langevine, Harris, and Tate are going to take the bulk of the minutes. The other guys are battling for "foul trouble" minutes in my opinion. Any smart transfer sees that and probably isn't coming here. Also no way we recruit over 2 four star freshmen.

Dre3000

Unless we are running some other bigs out the program I don't see the need for MORE bigs. As it is we have Langevine, Harris, Akele, Tate, Preston, Layssard, and Tertsea. That's already more than half our scholarships. I'd love to see a big-time scoring wing come in with that last scholly.

Dre3000

But I also honestly believe that he would be better off, too. There will be better opportunities and ones more deserving of him. This. Dan’s agent shouldn’t be pushing him. The dream jobs will open up soon. Keep the family in Rhode Island if Thorr completes the check list. Go Rhody? You guys are mu...

Just watched Fatts Russell instagram live feed. People were asking him left and right about Hurley. He did say "Everyone asking me if coach Hurley staying, want me to tell them the truth." But then then did not say anything about it after. I also heard him mention something about a workou...

Hey Dre maybe stick that dynamite up your ass for a day or so. Lmao if you think Hurley will be the coach of this team next year that's fine. You're a fool, but that's fine. My source is standing firm on what has been said all season. I'll even make a one sided bet. If I am wrong I'll humbly come o...

This is awesome!

I'm actually indifferent. It'd be great if he stayed, but I am genuinely happy for him. Hopefully Cox gets hired, anyone else comes in and the recruiting class goes elsewhere as well as Dowtin, Russell, and Langevine. At least that's what is believed at this point.

Dre3000

Boom goes the dynamite...

I'm assuming Zags is tweeting this because he's heard what I have heard.

Stay tuned folks.

Dre3000

When Dree3000 says he is hearing from people in the know, he is literally going to the UConn message board and pasting what they have been saying. That $3 mill comes from some anonymous source on their forum. Bunch of bullshit. Except I also had the details of Carr's departure before anyone else. W...

Dre3000

I do believe he will hibernate to go over things with his family, agent, and himself. So no it's not too late, he may have a change of heart. But most think that will not be happening. Should know in the next 2-3 days

Dre3000

He was asked after an emotional loss with 5 seniors. If after his "hibernation" he still is singing the same tune, I will gladly come back on here and post that I was wrong. However according to multiple people that would know, that post will not be coming.

Dre3000

CT as well, think he's the x factor ......his year of no competition concerns me to get him up to game speed......then x factor this year was Akele......we saw how that turned out......Preston, bench Mikes are all x minus for me...... Coaches have mentioned he's practiced all year and usually guard...

The fact that fans can't multi task and think or talk about multiple subjects is mind-boggling. Here's an idea, if you don't want to talk about the coaching carousel, don't click on the thread. A lot of people will be eating crow in a week or two. Hopefully it doesn't change your opinions of Coach H...

Coach leaves. Cox takes over, book it.

Dre3000

Only time the Bonnies beat Rhody in 5 years was when EC was injured and Hassan was playing through being hurt/injured. Weird game, they snuck up on URI at the end and the game was over. IDK why A10 talk and all these Bonnie fans consider themselves in the same breath as the Keaney Blue. https://twi...

Dre3000

Heard from same source that gave me Hassan injury last year and Preston injury this year that EC will be playing tonight... Not that it matters now, but don't you think the coaches would rather the health status of players (especially star players) to remain private until they decide to release tha...

Dre3000

Of note is SBU is in the first four out. I don't think we were at this point a year ago. It looks like SBU does have a chance to play itself into an at large. I do think if SBU wins out (other than vs. URI) and then again loses to URI in the A10 championship, it might just be enough to squeeze them...

Dre3000

An 18 point favorite, and we easily could have lost that game. 18 point is in prohibitive favorite territory, no way was it even supposed to be close and it was flip a coin for a loss in the final minutes. 15 points down in the 2nd half when you are favored by 18 is a 33 point spread so sugar coat ...

Uh oh!!!!

Dre3000

One time he got hit in the mouth, and I thought for a minute he had a tooth knocked out so I wonder if the mouthpiece came to be after he got hit in the mouth? or did he have the mouthpiece from the very start of the game - anyone know? and did he suffer damage to his teeth in the game? This is exa...

I like it when people talk about our "expected RPI" which I think is 28 right now.... Does that take into account any losses other than the only game we're likely to be an underdog the rest of the way, to the Bonnies? 17-1 would be nice....and yeah I'm the King of England.....not happenin...

Dre3000

LaForce seems to have brought in more size and talent, but they are net meshing yet. Agreed, the game I saw you could tell the players are better skill-wise but together they seem lost on offense. I would hope we see some real improvement the rest of the way this year. I would be surprised to see t...

I'm not sure what Preston did but he is in the dog house. We were counting on him and he is getting zero minutes. Would love to hear the inside story on that. He's been hurt. Didn't play two games ago and played limited minutes last game. Not sure there's much more to it than that. He hasn't been h...

Dre3000

In all honesty I hope the Bonnies don't lose until they play us and come in as a ranked opponent. Would make for an exciting game that will likely go a long way to determining the conference champ.

Dre3000

Robinson is a 6'5 Guard. Pretty sure that's why Dre put bigs in quotes. Stan's our leading rebounder right now and when we go with four guards he's pretty much playing the "big" role at least on defense. Yea I got that afterwards. But why is he comparing EC and Preston? Because we lose Pr...

Dre3000

What seriously can Preston do that EC can't? Outside of being taller, I just don't see much. With EC back in the fold hard Preston was probably already going to see his minutes decrease. I see our "bigs" being Berry, Langevine, Akele, Robinson, and if there's foul trouble maybe even EC. Es...

Dre3000

The biggest thing for us is to take care of each game in front of us. The thing that made us so nervous last year is that we had 1 bad loss at home, and another atrocious loss at home. If we can avoid bad losses altogether and avoid losses at home, we should be able to dance.

Dre3000

down to 1 top 50 win. everybody still happy about going 8-3 OOC? Yes, they have way more opportunities to boost their RPI. Lots of games left to be played, also 2 of our close losses will be viewed as not having our "best player". Anyway you cut it 8-3 with a top 10 OOC schedule is a succ...

Carr was technically on staff, but was ousted shortly after the final 4 in April. And he was definitely the lead on this recruitment as he was the lead on all Juco recruiting. Also the Jersey connection was strong there. Hard to say for sure, but when Carr knew he wouldn't be with the program, hard ...

The Rhodymbb instagram page posted a photo from practice yesterday - two things stood out, in the photo it looked like our first team was playing a 1-3-1 zone...and it looked like Tertsea was in the middle of it.

What was the punishment? He didn't start against Buffalo? He ran sprints after practice ? He had to write 100 times I will not punch a cop in the face again? Does it matter?

Dre3000

This happened a long time ago. I don't know why everyone assumes Hurley did not punish Stan when everything happened. I have no inside knowledge on this, but I think assuming that the punishment will come only because of charges doesn't seem to align with the character of our coach. It would really ...
